In order to conduct a proper valuation of your business, we require certain documents from you. Below is a list of items that we would typically request from you once you decide to engage our services. Keep in mind that the list may grow longer or shrink a bit depending on the nature of the mandate. If you do not have certain records, your corporate accountant may be able to assist you. As valuators of the 21st century, we do prefer the documents be submitted to us in electronic form.
